title: [Intrathoracic chondrosarcoma arising at a rib in a patient with multiple exostoses].
abstract: A case of chondrosarcoma arising from the 7th left rib in a patient with multiple exostosis disease is reported. The initial CT scan feature is a purely intrathoracic mass with a parietal and pericardial junction and calcifications within the tumor. A review of the literature about the costal chondrosarcoma and their CT scan features is done and shows the uncommon initial aspect of this case.
